Thank you guys
I get loads of mint moths in my garden. I grow both mint for the kitchen and nepeta (cat mint) for the bees but the moths always seem to be on other plants, but usually near the mints. They're easily overlooked - they're tiny - and a lot of them are more brown than red. The older ones? I think they're pyrausta aurata rather than purpuralis but I'm not 100% on that. They always make me think of some old noble in an ermine robe.
